The Midway Delta, Chris James & The Showdowns

Mission Blackout (closing set)

The Midway Delta

An Indie rock band from San Francisco that started making music in August 2006. They have released two albums since then - MORSE CODE OVER LAND LINES and SENDING OUT TENDRILS. Their third record GET EVEN will be released December 2011. If you've ever liked sunny harmonies, the way a Rickenbacker guitar sounds through an old Fender amplifier, and choruses with hooks, you've found your new favorite band.

Chris James & The Showdowns

"With their signature musical blend of acoustic rock, blues and alt-country, Chris James and the Showdowns are renowned throughout the Bay Area for having solid original songs and for keeping the dance floor jumping... Music from their new album "Lucky Breaks" has been receiving praise from industry folks and local radio alike with a recent local feature on 107.7 The Bone.

--"Chris James is a terrific singer-songwriter with a real honest approach and style. His songs speak to everyday people. Reminds me a little of 'The Boss'..." - J. Bowman (Lead Guitarist for Michael Franti & Spearhead)

--"Chris James' style of writing is hard to deny as it rings of times and life situations we can all relate to. It's nice to see an artist and band hold true to americana roots while still giving you a rock and roll kick in the ass!" -Starita (Music Producer, Founder of Bay Area Music Collective)
